“Clancy Walsh, Dominic Dametto, James Tucker and Oscar Griffith, they’re sort of our leading midfield players and they’ll be really important for us on the day,” Shorthouse said.

“One of our best players is Hayden McAusland, he played for NSWCIS at the national carnival this year and he’s a very strong player.”

Waverley will face Kildare College, Xavier High School and ACT school St Mary Mackillop College in the boys tier 1 finals.

AFL has really grown in popularity and skill at the school over the past few years and Shorthouse said it’s only going to get bigger.

“It’s growing and growing and getting stronger and stronger,” Shorthouse said.
